Does it smell like gas? I need to know.

It smells like kerosene . Every Christmas we went to Granddads and they had kerosene lamps and stoves ,and I still associate that smell to Christmas.

coal oil is rarely used for lamps anymore. What most people mean when they say coal oil is kerosene. It smells a lot like jet fuel. Actually, it smells exactly like jet fuel since jet fuel is kerosene. It that smell you sometimes notice as your getting off of an airliner.

why the water dipper ?
coal oil or kerosene has a petroleum smell as does gasoline but they do not smell alike at all ( how do you describe an odor ? )
gas ( natural or LP ) has almost no odor - the smell it has is due to a chemical added to it so people can detect it - that smells like rotten eggs as much as anything )

The caps i ought to turn over to my older brothers. The bottles i ought to earnings and use the money for my personal "treats".
